Title: Ubuntu packages

Hello people  :D  I am going to try to create aMule deb packages for Ubuntu.

I am not an expert so they may have errors1 (http://www.amule.org/amule/index.php?topic=17060.msg91343#msg91343). If he gives you any problems please say so. My deb packages were built using official rules of Debian/Ubuntu aMule package.


Supported archs: i386, amd64 and lpia

-> Add PPA repository

Just download and install deb package for your Ubuntu release.

||Jaunty Jackalope 9.04||Intrepid Ibex 8.10||Hardy Heron 8.04||
(http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/9155/deb.png) (https://launchpad.net/~amule-releases/+archive/ppa/+files/amule-releases_2009.10.08-0jaunty3_all.deb)(http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/9155/deb.png) (https://launchpad.net/~amule-releases/+archive/ppa/+files/amule-releases_2009.10.08-0intrepid1_all.deb)(http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/9155/deb.png) (https://launchpad.net/~amule-releases/+archive/ppa/+files/amule-releases_2009.10.08-0hardy1_all.deb)

-> Installing...

You can use Synaptic Package Manager (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synaptic_Package_Manager) (if you use GNOME (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME)) or KPackageKit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KPackageKit)/Adept (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adept_Package_Manager) (if you use KDE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE)).
Then you must reload your repositories, search and install amule package.

If you prefer to use the terminal, enter this command:
Quote
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install amule

But there are more optional packages...

amule: WxWigets client for networks eD2k and Kad
amule-common: Common file for the remaining packages aMule
amule-gnome-support: ed2k links handling support for GNOME web browsers
amule-daemon: Non-graphical version aMule, a client for networks eD2k and Kad
amule-utils: aMule tools (console version)
amule-utils-gui: Graphical tools for aMule

Only for packagers!!:
* To download sources of aMule or of ubuntu package, go here (https://launchpad.net/~amule-releases/+archive/ppa/+packages).

Uploading new build for Hardy which should enable upnp support once and for all.

For that I backported libupnp3-dev library from Jaunty since libupnp-dev of Hardy repositories doesn't work.

To create "good" packages we using a set of tools (devscripts, debhelper ...), not just one.

I learned reading this manual (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete) (and also others (http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/)). Also, you can see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyEl3w7SFK4

And when you have something, if you want improve your packaging skills, I recommend you collaborate with the Getdeb project (http://www.getdeb.net). For that you should see their wiki (http://wiki.getdeb.net/)

For end, you can get help in IRC: #getdeb (for packaging in GetDeb) and #ubuntu-motu (for all Ubuntu packaging issues) channels.

Or if you like more e-mail, you have:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-motu-mentors
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu

I wish you good luck as a packager!!   ;)

aMule 2.2.4 is in Jaunty universe repository, thanks to MOTU team.
Title: Re: Ubuntu packages
Post by: Festor on April 22, 2009, 04:21:45 PM
Thanks for the info. However, I will maintain the repository for Ubuntu 9.04 because I have in mind some improvements in the package that can not be included in the repositories (since there is no time for major changes) and maybe1 will be a 2.2.5 (http://www.amule.org/amule/index.php?topic=16818.msg89483#msg89483) release before 2.3.0.








1Note: For more information read the article about the meaning of SoonTM (http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/Soon) to amule dev team...  ::)

I don't know why, but on my system was amule-adunanza installed, and it wasn't work very well.
Now with the latest amule, all is working fine again !

You can read  about that bug here (http://www.amule.org/amule/index.php?topic=16836.0) and here (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/app-install-data-ubuntu/+bug/368580).

News!!  ;D ;D


Now just install a deb package will automatically be added the repository and the corresponding GPG key needed.


 Now you can open and load an emulecollection file (http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/Emulecollection) to aMule with a single double click (or right click and click Open with "amule-emc").


 I got lastest wxwidgets sources of here (http://wiki.wxpython.org/InstallingOnUbuntuOrDebian) and uploaded to amule-releases PPA.

Note: this wxwidgets build hasn't any patches applied....  ::) (http://www.amule.org/amule/index.php?topic=15259.0)

Reload your repositories, download and enjoy!!  ;)

hello,
first, thx for the good packackes. The 2.2.5 packages from May 16 were alright!

Installed with "apt-get update":
/etc/apt/sources.list:
 deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/amule-releases/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main

Since I updated today with the newer 2.2.5 version with "apt-get update" there is a problem:
The daemon started alright (also there is no error in the logfile):

user@serverxy:~# /etc/init.d/amuled start

No other instances are running.
ListenSocket: Ok.
amuled: forking to background - see you

But I cannot start the graphical "amulegui" on this machine:

perhaps, you've an idea. here the dpkg.log:

That's wxPython, not wxWidgets. I don't think it's meant to be used for anything else than building wxPython.
It's WX_2_8_BRANCH SVN 60605, while 2.8.10 is 59585. 63 changes, can't say if anything is relevant for aMule.
If you want cutting edge you could just as well use SVN (WX_2_8_BRANCH).

See: http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/jaunty/wxwidgets2.8

If I only package wxgtk probably I will break any update of this library in Ubuntu.
Title: Re: Ubuntu packages
Post by: Vollstrecker on May 26, 2009, 01:19:03 PM
You could just use the ones from ubuntu. The ones from debian 2.8.7.1 work, so why the effort for using a newer one?

Because devs will infailingly answer "please try a current wxWidgets version" if anybody reports a crash with wx 2.8.7.  :P

OK, I will shut up about packaging mysteries.  :-X
Personally, I'd link the whole thing static. No dependencies, no hassle. Just one executable, and good.

Well, I can't reproduce the bug...

I can run amulegui without any problem:

I suggest you uninstall all packages (amule and wxgtk) and make a fresh install, perhaps there was a problem in updating of wxwidgets packages...

       
Or you can try these packages (http://wiki.wxpython.org/InstallingOnUbuntuOrDebian), but should be the same as in my repository.

Thank you, I was already using amule-emc, so I did not notice that it was included  :D

If you want to add support for elinks in konqueror it can be done by adding the file:
/usr/share/services/ed2k.protocol

with this content:

Code: [Select]
[Protocol]
exec=ed2k '%u'
protocol=ed2k
input=none
output=none
helper=true

writing=false

The truth is that amule-emc (http://code.google.com/p/amule-emc/) (or this (http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/amule-emc)) is not used but the system uses the command 'ed2k -e'.

hello,
no chance. I removed all relevant packages and reinstalled them. no change.

Than I only removed libwxgtk2.8-0 and amule-utils-gui (your last one, 2.5) and installed the old amule-utils-gui 2.2. amulegui runs without problem.

After re-installation of these 2 packages, I have the same problem.  Perhabs this is a problem with this build of libwxgtk2.8-0, perhaps because of my 64bit-Ubuntu (Intrepid Ibex 8.10).

userxy@serverxy:~$ amulegui
amulegui: /usr/local/lib/libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0: version `WXU_2.8.10' not found (r
equired by /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_core-2.8.so.0)

bye


ps: now I use the first 2.2.5 package (amule-utils-gui_2.2.5-0ubuntu1~intrepid1_amd64.deb) from may 16 with the original-ubuntu package libwxgtk2.8-0. This works fine.

Next maybe debug packages or konqueror ed2k links support.... :D

* process to install aMule
* a little demo of ed2k links handling and emulecollection files usage

Well done! This makes everything even easier!

For a future video, you might want to increase the text size in the emule content db, because it's very hard to read. The rest is surprisingly well readable even on YouTube.

Well, it seems that will be first the debug package.
   
Still being processed files in the repository, but from now on if you have a crash with aMule and/or somebody ask you for a backtrace, you should install the amule-dbg package so that your backtrace (http://www.amule.org/amule/index.php?topic=4115.0) will be useful.
